Guess who's reading about spiders again?Okay, it's not quite Adrian Tchaikovsky's *Children of Time*, but still...*Charlotte's Web* was part of my "Reading Children's Classics for the First Time as an Adult" Challenge this January, and I'm pleasantly surprised! What a heartwarming read!It's such a cute book about friendship! I'm sure I would have absolutely loved *Charlotte's Web* by E.B. White as a kid!

My thoughts in a nutshell E.B. White's *Charlotte's Web* is one of my all-time favorite childhood books. I watched the movie adaptation countless times and never got bored with it.The story is about…Skip over this point if you don't like the sneak peek. A little pig who dreams of seeing the county fair and, more importantly, of living a full life instead of becoming sausages. What impressed me the most 😊 This seemingly simple story is packed with important feelings and life lessons. It teaches...

One of the biggest tearjerkers from my distant childhood, the unlikely friendship between a spider and a pig makes for absolutely wonderful reading, and a beautiful shared moment when you read it aloud to your kids. It's tender and teaches the values of loyalty and integrity with a light, gorgeous writing style. A true classic and a masterpiece. If you're looking for great children's books, you can't go wrong with E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web".

Book 23 of 30 for my 30-day reading challenge. A classic children's book, E.B. White's *Charlotte's Web* is a heartwarming and timeless tale that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. It's more than just a story; it's an experience.

Another classic read with the kids! I love reading to them – they enjoy a chapter every evening, and it gives us some good, quality family time. It's also cool to see them disappointed if we don’t have time to read (sad, but cool that it's so important to them!).If you don’t remember E.B. White's *Charlotte's Web* from your childhood, did you even *have* a childhood?While it is dated – even more so now than when I read it as a kid – it's a timeless tale of life, death, and friendship. There are ...

Update 6/2018: I'll go right ahead and say it: I think *Charlotte's Web* is the greatest children's book ever written. Today, I'm starting my fourth read of this classic. It's my youngest child's turn to discover the joys and sorrows of friendship and life, as presented by one of my favorite writers, E.B. White. Rest in peace, Andy, you beautiful man.Original review:It's pretty ridiculous that I'm reading *Charlotte's Web* for the third time at 42 years old, and I still end up blubbering, with h...

If you've never read *Charlotte's Web* by E.B. White, you are seriously missing out on a classic Newbery Honor award winner. Seriously, head to the library now and borrow this book that was first published in 1952. You probably shouldn't buy it (unless you have kids or are giving it as a gift), but definitely embrace the whole experience of being a little kid walking through the library doors, searching for an amazing book, and bringing home a story that will make you cry and fall in love all at...

Apologies to anyone following my reviews hoping for insights into epic fantasy novels – I spend more time reading kids' books to my little girl (who isn't able to read herself).*Charlotte's Web* is a book I've known about for nearly 40 years, but somehow managed to miss when I was a kid. We started reading it at the hospice last week and got halfway through, then had to buy a copy at Waterstones yesterday to finish it off (59 years in print and it's still selling for £6.99 in paperback!)The book...

I don't care if it's a children's book, *Charlotte's Web* is one of the best-written stories ever. This classic deserves 5 stars for the storytelling and language alone! (Read your Strunk & White to understand E.B. White's talents.) The fact that it’s such a heart-warming and wrenching story seals the deal. I never thought I could love pigs and spiders this much. *Charlotte's Web* will always be one of my favorites. But seriously, why did they make us watch the cartoon version of this tearjerker...
